. . . since Landon's last surgery. It's hard to believe- I didn't even realize it until this morning in a doctor's appointment I was asked how old he has at his surgeries and I realized that it's been 6 months. It's amazing to me that at that point he had spent so much of his life in the hospital but now it seems like so long ago and I'm sure he remembers nothing about it. It has been incredible to see him come so far in 6 months and to turn into a somewhat normal happy baby. He is still a little bit behind developmentally in a few areas- we went to a child development center today to see a phsyical therapist and she said that he has low muscle tone and some weak muscles which is probably why he's not really crawling more than an army crawl. We'll do some physical therapy to help with this and hopefully he'll catch up at some point.
Gary mentioned that he was waving in the last post but his newest thing now is clapping. It doesn't actually make much noise but he definitely claps his hands and it makes Gary very happy (anyone that knows Gary pretty well, knows that he claps ALL the time).
He's getting more into watching little videos on the TV like baby einstein, sesame street, etc. It's fun to watch him totally dazed out and in awe of whatever is on the screen. He's a pretty happy kid for the most part and we are so grateful to have had 6 months of no hospital stays!
